Mia Woodworth

I am a Student Therapist completing my Masters in Counselling Psychology and Psychotherapy at the University of Toronto. I bring a relational approach to those I work with and view clients as resourceful and resilient. My practice draws from person-centred approaches, somatic therapy, and ACT. I have over seven years of experience in frontline mental health, particularly working with behaviour regulation and people who are neurodivergent.

In practice I aim to create safe, inclusive, and affirming spaces where clients feel understood and supported. I integrate a person-centred approach to meet people where they are at, establishing a supportive and collaborative relationship. I am passionate about supporting growth, confidence, and resilience as I walk alongside people through change.

With a Bachelor of Child and Youth Care from the University of Victoria, I have a wide range of experience working with people across school, in-home and community-based settings, supporting individuals with autism, behavioural challenges, and social-emotional needs. I have volunteered at mental health visiting programs and at peer support centres, helping those by using developmental and attachment-based approaches.

I view reflective practice and relational work as central to therapy. I approach people with curiosity and compassion, using reflection to better understand behaviour in context and to tailor support. I bring a compassionate, strengths-based, and trauma informed approach to my work and value collaboration to promote meaningful change.

Mia Woodworth is often the first point of contact for new and returning clients, helping the intake process feel smooth, clear, and supported.
